According to Oregon Live, a small coffee producer, Black Bear Micro Roastery, has won a trademark infringement case by Starbucks. 

This coffee producer sued in 2001 for using ‘Charbucks’. Charbucks is Black Bear’s darkest roast coffee which was introduced in 1997. Starbucks appealed to the 2nd US, but the court agreed with the district court.   

Starbucks respects but disagrees with the court's decision, company spokesman Zack Hutson said.
